My Newest Distraction_Beaded Chemo Hat

[cmzaha]

My newest hat I crocheted and beaded the flower. It is a very soft hat good for chemo patients. This is why I have not made any soap in the last week or so, and I really need to make soap. But now I have a purple varigated hat to make the flower and bead. The picture does not show the beading color well but the sequins maked the hat almost perfect and are iridescent orange. It also has some Swarovski crystal rondels and margaritas with a large square crystal in the middle of the hat. These are true Swarovski crystals I have left over from my days of beading skating dresses.

Oh my goodness, Carolyn! That's just beautiful! What a special head piece for the chemo patient to wear. It'll keep her head warm while looking fabulous. What spectacular and thoughtful work you do!

Such a lovely hat and what could be more special than making someone feel better about themselves when they are going through such a tough time. It's really a beautiful thought and idea.

Is this a skirt and top outfit? It is really cute. Outside of shawls and sweaters I never crochet much for clothes since I do not like the feel of yarn next to my body. Hats I love!!
Thankyou all, for the complements I always enjoyed beading and decided it would be perfect for the flapper type hat after I found the flower tutorial on you tube. They is a lady that has amazing flower patterns but they are all you tube tutorials. What a pain to make anything watching a video. I much prefer written patterns. I have had a crate of beads and crystals sitting on a shelf for over 20 yrs and decided to put them to good use.
Of course I better get to getting the soap rack full for my spring show...but I am having so much fun beading.

Please post a picture when you get the wedding dress done. Pearls and seed beads would be beautiful. Although seed beeds are pesky little buggers to sew on :razz:

Yes I will her wedding is next year still plenty of time. Thank you for the advice. What your opinion I will use alpaca, merino wool or bamboo yarn?

Depending on weather I would use either merino wool or bamboo. I love both yarns
